I lived with Major in Philadelphia from 2000-2002. I did his hair, sold his cds at his show. I met so many artists through Major. He truly enjoyed performing and meeting people. He was & always will be the "Love Man"!!! Maybe I should write a memoir on those 2 great years...💖💖🌹🌹💖💖
RIP to the late great Major Harris! He passed away on November 9,2012 from congestive heart and lung failure in Richmond,Virginia. He was known for the hit Love Won't Let Me Wait and sang in many groups like the Delfonics,The Charmers,Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers,The Jarmels, and Nat Turner's Rebellion. He was a vocalist and a guitar player. We will miss you! My mom told me she got to see him in concert when he opened for the Ohio Players in the 70s!
Everytime I listened to this song I got into trouble, especially when my mom heard the woman moaning, lol.... This was the shizznick back in the day, still is today...
How reactionary our parents were. If only they had taken time to reason with us rather than just reacting to a perceived wrong on our part. Adults were always inducing guilt and curiousity in their effort to prevent our unstoppable growth...
Love Won't Let Me Wait by Major Harris was such a lovely song and he was such a fine artist! So sad to know he expired in 2012, but that song will live on for many to enjoy. He was also great with the Delfonics, who I saw perform in Wilmington, Delaware back in the late 70s. Miss that talent so much! RIP Mr. Harris
At 2:05 you can see he's already taken them home, and he's only half way through the song. I've only ever heard two versions of this song. This one and one by Uncle Luther Vandross. Legends in their time
Yes, the passing of Major is indeed a loss to is all who enjoy and respect the true artistry of a gifted individual. His work with The Defomics and as a solo artist will not be duplicated in our lifetime. Thank you Mr. Harris for your contribution and to the perfection of your craft.
IDK probably his music is so beautiful and he has that soulful romantically style of singing it just traumatized you it takes you to another world of love
Thank U 4 putting this up. What an exquisite song, performed so beautifully. I just learned Major Harris had died this year(-. We lost a real treasure. I also loved his work with Delfonics; I was so blessed to have seen him in concert with them, and also doing a solo on this. U could have heard a pin drop!. R.I.P. Mr. Harris, May his memory always be a blessing.
This song was haunting me all day. Found it👍🏻. Better than I remembered. Wow! Sally Lou Butler PA Thursday June 25, 2020. 6 months from today is Christmas 🎄. ✌🏻

My favorite romantic song. Tell me woman don't like to hear this. It was hard working during the day listening to this song. People used to hit the woods during lunch breaks and if you were a handyman forget it... lol
This song was released in the 1970's when I was residing in the Caribbean islands of Anguilla and St. Maarten, N.A. songs like this inspired my songwriting craft before I came to the U.S. in 1979. This is a great love balad!
thank you for the info. i had no idea that he sang in so many groupsespecially The Delfonics. I DO KNOW one thing- this was a baby-making song right here! :) It's a stone cold jam!!!!
The first time I heard this on the radio my mother said what on earth are you listening to!! I felt so guilty that I had to switch the radio off. Late at night I would play this quietly in my room without any interference lol
The time is right You hold me tight And love is got me high Please tell me, yes And don't say no, honey not tonight I need to have you next to me In more ways than one And I refuse to leave Till I see the morning sun Creep through your window pane 'Cause love won't let me wait Not one more minute, baby The time is right Turned down the lights and take my hand We will take a flight And spend the night in a wonderland Now move a little close to me You owe it to yourself And I will selfishly Take a little for myself And it's because of you That love won't let me wait No, listen girl I need your love so desperately And only you can set me free When I make love to you We will explode in ecstasy And I won't take the blame That love won't let me wait, no Love won't let me wait My temperature's rising 'Cause your so tantalizing Oh, listen girl Love won't let me wait
If major told me to hold his hand I would have and come close to him I would done it so no questions ask this song I’m so in love his and sexy voice but his music will on and on, sorry we lost one of our greatest singers ever, my condolences to his family major Harris rips my darling 🌻🥀💐💕
A classic he also did can't go on living when he was with nat turner rebellion and walk right up to the sun with the delfonics hes gone but not forgotten
thank you very much mr. angelface3121 for sharing the passing of Major Harris November 2012...That's a shock! I did not hear about this atall. I spent six months in West Africa from May 2012 to November 2012 when I returned to the states and did not hear anything atall! When I listen to this song as I explained below, this song brings back a lot of memories when the times of life were exciting in the 1970's living on the island of St. Maarten form 1973 to 1978 before coming to the U.S.
Hj com 61 anos me fez voltar no tempo onde pude dançar muitas vezes de rosto colado e sentindo a respiração e o coração corpo/ corpo . Essa pessoa ja se foi pra outra dimensão ficou as lembranças . Vida que segue ...
Im now 64 and first heard this fantastic love song as a teenager at a "house Party" as we called it here and to this day whenever i hear it i get goosebumps. When i first met my wife i asked the dj to play and dedicate it to her from me.❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@jamaal9911 Hi..
Mr. Harris had a few of y’all’s grandmas ready to risk it all in that audience, respectfully
So everyone in the comments grandma lived in Los Angeles?
The days when life was simple and music was simply genuine and beautiful.
Oh Yes, Truth Indeed, I really Miss those Years

I prefer the sound minus the moaning.
Yes it's so smooth
Totally agree

Oh Yes
Man’s voice was so powerful that he had the audience stuck on still
This is for the serious grown and sexy moments. A classic song that will forever be loved.❤❤❤ R.I.P to this amazing artist.
Damn I miss soul music! I was too young to appreciate this when it came out, but I also did not know that this form of music would disappear either.
Truth Indeed

Have you met him personally or have you been to same school with him? I'm apologies if my question is too much. I'm just too curious fella
Yes, the passing of Major is indeed a loss to is all who enjoy and respect the true artistry of a gifted individual. His work with The Defomics and as a solo artist will not be duplicated in our lifetime. Thank you Mr. Harris for your contribution and to the perfection of your craft.

He was a member of The Delfonics? COOL!! I love this tune,by the way. It's soulful, NOT sappy. Nice job, Mr. Harris.

So wierd the dancers are just watching him. Why arent they slow dancing? Its a dance show. ❤ Major and also The Delfonics
You could only slow dance to this song with the lights down low because of the boner it causes that can't be shown on tv.

That's great. This song was on the airwaves in my time and had such meaning. Still does. Thanks
The time is right
You hold me tight
And love is got me high
Please tell me, yes
And don't say no, honey not tonight
I need to have you next to me
In more ways than one
And I refuse to leave
Till I see the morning sun
Creep through your window pane
'Cause love won't let me wait
Not one more minute, baby
The time is right
Turned down the lights and take my hand
We will take a flight
And spend the night in a wonderland
Now move a little close to me
You owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly
Take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
No, listen girl
I need your love so desperately
And only you can set me free
When I make love to you
We will explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait, no
Love won't let me wait
My temperature's rising
'Cause your so tantalizing
Oh, listen girl
Love won't let me wait
If major told me to hold his hand I would have and come close to him I would done it so no questions ask this song I’m so in love his and sexy voice but his music will on and on, sorry we lost one of our greatest singers ever, my condolences to his family major Harris rips my darling 🌻🥀💐💕
